Mr. Hubert.

Now I pass to you two documents which you have read, and which I now want to identify, by marking them as follows: The first document, which purports to be a report by FBI Agent Bookhout, of an interview with you on November 24, I am marking as follows: "Dallas, Tex., March 25, 1964, Exhibit No. 5088. Deposition of J. R. Leavelle." I am signing my name below that, and marking the second page with my initials, in the lower right-hand corner. The second document I am also marking, "Dallas, Tex., March 25, 1964. Exhibit 5089, deposition of J.R. Leavelle," and signing my name also and placing my initials in the lower right- hand corner of the second page of that document. The second document, 5089, purports to be an FBI report of an interview with you by Special Agents Bramblett and Logan. Now, addressing myself first to the document which is marked 5088, I will ask you if you have read that document?

Mr. Leavelle.

Yes.

Mr. Hubert.

And whether or not it states substantially the truth?

Mr. Leavelle.

Substantially so.

Mr. Hubert.

Now, did you find any errors in it?

Mr. Leavelle.

No; I think that is all right.

Mr. Hubert.

Do you wish to delete or add anything to it?

Mr. Leavelle.

No; let it stand.

Mr. Hubert.

With that, would you, please, sign your name below mine, if you wish, and initial the second page below my initials. Now, I hand you the document that I have marked for identification as Exhibit 5089, and ask you the same questions with respect to that document.

Mr. Leavelle.

Yes; I think this is the one that had the article in there about the short interview, if it makes any difference.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, would you point out what paragraph you are talking about?

Mr. Leavelle.

Let me see if I can find it here. I am sure it was on this one rather than the other one. There was one right here on the----on the one Bookhout took. Now, let me see that again.

Mr. Hubert.

Here.

Mr. Leavelle.

It is the contents of the last paragraph on the second page, Mr. Hubert.

Mr. Hubert.

I think you are speaking of the third sentence of the last paragraph on the second page, a sentence which reads as follows, to wit: "He was never present while Oswald was being interviewed, nor was he present while Ruby was being interviewed by the Dallas Police officers." I think you wish to comment upon that, do you not?

Mr. Leavelle.

Correct that to read, "With the exception of possibly 15 minutes prior to the actual transfer began on the 24th."

Mr. Hubert.

That is to say, after you had been selected as an officer to whom----

Mr. Leavelle.

Would handle the transfer.

Mr. Hubert.

You were directed to go to Captain Fritz' office, and you did so, is that right?

Mr. Leavelle.

Of course, I was directed to go there early in the morning. I have that. What I am referring to, of course, once I got Oswald out of jail I stayed with him up to the end.

Mr. Hubert.

When did you get him out of jail?

Mr. Leavelle.

I got him out of jail at, oh, I don't remember the exact time, but it was--it was between 9:30 that morning that I was instructed to go get him by Captain Fritz from the jail, and bring him to his office, which I did, and I went into his cell and put the handcuffs on him inside the cell.

Mr. Hubert.

And you brought him down to----

Mr. Leavelle.

Brought him down, and I remained with him, or in the office from then on up until the actual transfer took place.

Mr. Hubert.

Well, during that period, was there interviewing going on only 15 minutes?

Mr. Leavelle.

Well, I made a note here, "at 9:30," but I could be in error on that time. They may have talked---I am sure that my note is in error
